Hello.My name is Alastair Noyce.I'm a clinician and researcher
with a particular interestin Parkinson's disease and related
neurodegenerative diseases.Moreover, I'm interested in the
risk factors and earliest featuresof disease and how these can be
used to find groups of peoplein the earliest stages so
they might be recruitedto clinical trials of
neuroprotective drugs.I lead a project called PREDICT-PD
which aims to find people at riskof Parkinson's disease or in
the earliest stages of disease,and I'll speak more
about this in due course.

Topics for discussion.This lecture will concentrate
on the early clinical featuresof Parkinson's disease primarily
and finish with discussionabout the early features of
Parkinson's plus conditionsincluding multiple system atrophy
and progressive supranuclear palsy.The talk will follow
the slides on screen.The slides will referr to
past and current research,providing references for
the studies discussed.At the outset I should say this
is a very large field of research,and this talk aims to
provide an overviewrather than be all-encompassing.In addition, this is
an area of researchwhere many questions
still remain, and so I'vetried to focus on those aspects
for which the best evidence exists.
